Can you catch poison oak from fire?

Question

Can you catch poison oak from burning poison oak from the air?

Answer 1

Yes you can. You should never burn it, use a weed killer.

Answer 2

Yes. A neighbor of mine once was hospitalized because she breathed in poison ivy smoke- she had the blisters in her lungs.

Answer 3

If your close enough to get the oils on you yes.

Answer 4

it all depends on how alergic you are to it.  my father n law is really alergic to it and when they were burning off a feild and hes was not close to the smoke but he stopped breathing.  and at the same time i've burned it and didnt have a problem with it.  so it's one of those things.  my advice is just not to mess with it.  have someone else do it or u can always weed spray and not have to even take the chance.
